La Junta High School football coaches Ty Buderus and Mike Torrez brought the Class 2A State Champion football team to the Senior Center on Thursday to serve Christmas dinner. Buderus and several of the boys made a point of thanking all the La Junta citizens for their support this season and for turning out for the championship game in Pueblo.

On the serving team were James Waddles, Jon Nuschy, Kyle Keck, Francisco Naputi, Dillon Stevens, Riley Romero and Ty Addington. After serving duty, they were eating the lavish meal with gusto. The meal was a covered dish with roast beef, baked potato, vegetables, pineapple coconut cake and assorted donated desserts.

The dinner rounded out with a drawing for baskets and poinsettias for the senior citizens.
